| Episode #256: Why HALF of U.S. Farming Has Nothing to Do With Food | 30 Jul 2026 | 01:08:07 | |
In this episode, Joel and Sina dive into a mind-bending truth: roughly 50% of U.S. farm production has nothing to do with feeding human beings. We expose how policy incentives drive this shift and reveal how foreign interests use American land to grow water-intensive crops that drain our aquifers for export to places like Dubai. Meanwhile, China is aggressively pushing toward total food independence by 2030 while America becomes increasingly reliant on foreign supply chains. Tune in to learn what this means for our land, water, and security and how we can rebuild a resilient, food-first local economy.

| Episode #249: Killed to Order: The Quiet Takeover of American Food, Medicine, and Minds | 11 Jun 2026 | 01:30:30 | |
Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina sit down with New York Times bestselling author Jan Jekielek to discuss his new book, Killed to Order. While mainstream headlines focus on overt geopolitical posturing, Jan exposes a much quieter, more dangerous reality: how communist ideology is actively infiltrating American institutions and culture at an alarming rate and much of it is going unnoticed. From compromising our food supply and essential medicines to controlling the rare earth minerals critical to our military, this unseen influence is hitting us right where we live. Not to mention psychological warfare; a weapon Jan warns "may be a more powerful weapon than China's nuclear arsenal." This isn't just about foreign policy. It’s a massive wake-up call for every American to open their eyes to the subtle, systemic subversion happening right in our own backyards. This weeks Community Question: “If we use a scale of 0 to 10 to measure how deeply a society has absorbed communist ideology with America at its founding 250 years ago being a zero, where would you say we rank today?” Link to Jan’s Book: www.killedtoorder.com

| Episode #247: Cancer and Fenbendazole: Could Parasites Be a Symptom, Not the Cause? | 28 May 2026 | 01:14:32 | |
Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina sat down with Dr. William F. Supple Jr., author of Cancer Is a Parasite, to explore one of the most controversial and suppressed topics in modern medicine. Is the link between parasites and cancer a legitimate medical breakthrough or just another wellness craze? They dive deep into the evidence behind using over-the-counter antiparasitics like Fenbendazole and discuss why the medical establishment has kept this information in the shadows for decades. Then they challenge the narrative: Are we simply finding a new "villain" to target? Dr. Sina questions whether we are wrongfully accusing parasites and, by focusing our energy on killing them, missing the true underlying cause of cancer. From the potential for herbal alternatives to the deeper biological roots of disease, this episode challenges what most people think of the body and cancer. Community Question: “Are you ready to start using a cancer preventative, such as fenbendazole or traditional medicine (herbals, etc)?”

The "Health Trend" reports for 2026 are in, and they’re betting big on AI, wearables, and precision nutrition as the future of our daily lives. But is the science actually ready for your dinner plate? This week, we peel back the curtain on the multi-million dollar microbiome testing industry. We discuss the staggering failure rates of direct-to-consumer tests—including what happened when one sample was sent to seven different labs—and why our understanding of "bioactive" food is still 90% in the dark. Plus, a major development in DC: a top aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci has been indicted for allegedly hiding records. What does this mean for transparency in public health? Community Question: “Do you use a wearable device? If so, is it useful? Have you stopped using a wearable device? If so, why?”

Is the "Wild West" of social media finally facing its day of reckoning? This week, Sina and Joel examine the landmark verdicts handed down to tech giants, asking if we’ve reached a "Big Tobacco" moment for digital addiction and harm. But the tech evolution doesn't stop at our screens; they look at the surreal frontier of AI data centers orbiting in space and the Vatican’s stance as the Pope implores priests to stop using ChatGPT for their Sunday sermons. Amidst this rapid digital expansion, Joel poses a timeless challenge: In a world of total "freedom" to create and consume, have we forgotten the weight of responsibility that must go with it?

In this explosive episode, Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin break down the recent judicial ruling that blocked Robert F.

Farmer Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina pull back the curtain on the deep-seated connections between Bayer (glyphosate), the Trump administration, and the federal agencies - EPA, USDA, and HHS - that dictate our food and health policies. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. They dive into a groundbreaking, nature-based miracle: raw sauerkraut juice. Discover how this humble, microbial powerhouse is proving to be a divine solution for breaking down glyphosate and restoring the health of our soil, our livestock, and possibly our families. Is this the "reset button" we’ve been praying for?

| Episode #238: Joel Salatin on the Future of Farming with Lasers & Robots | 26 Mar 2026 | 01:06:04 | |
Kennedy and Trump say the off-ramp from chemical farming is simple: trade sprayers for lasers and robots. In this episode, Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina put that promise under a microscope. They break down how weed lasers actually work and how that technology was, in part, built by us through clicking reCAPTCHA boxes. Then Joel drops the sobering punchline: you can get rid of chemicals and still lose the farm. Also, by the end of this year, we will live in a world where your medical records are stored on your phone and sync with a grocery-store app that tells you what to buy. Community Question: Do you wish you could have a laser weeder?

| Episode #237: The Great Opt-Out: Reclaiming Our Kids and Our Food from Corporate Overreach | 19 Mar 2026 | 01:10:42 | |
The battle for the next generation has moved from the living room to the courtroom. This week, Dr. Sina and Farmer Joel break down the groundbreaking Social Media Addiction trials where families are holding tech giants accountable for the "addictive design" features that have cost too many parents their teens. But parents aren't just waiting for a verdict; they are building their own networks. They discuss the surging "Analog Living" movement, where families are organizing to "opt-out" of school-issued devices, demanding a return to pen-and-paper education. Next up is the Texas Labeling Law (SB 25) causing a nationwide ripple effect, forcing manufacturers to choose between transparency or losing the Texas market. Plus, we tackle the latest regulatory betrayals: the EPA’s "re-approval" of Dicamba and the new bill from Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee that aims to end the Vaccine Liability Shield. Community Question: “What have you done to protect your kids (or yourself) from social media?

| Episode #236: Joel Salatin Dismantles Kennedy’s Defense of the Glyphosate Executive Order | 12 Mar 2026 | 01:00:43 | |
In this episode, Joel Salatin doesn’t just question President Trump’s February 18, 2026 glyphosate executive order, he dismantles it piece by piece. Joel takes aim at the official justification that America “can’t farm without glyphosate” and that the order is needed to keep farmers in business and the food supply afloat. If you’ve wondered whether “Make America Healthy Again” can survive a policy that expands and fortifies chemical farming, Joel’s message is blunt: you don’t fix a broken food system by putting it on government life support. It’s time to get out of the system. Community Question: Do you feel more disappointed in MAHA because of Kennedy’s support for the executive order or are you more grateful that MAHA/Kennedy is making some changes and bringing awareness?

The FDA just issued a Request for Information (RFI) on gluten labeling. But according to science, they are decades behind. In this episode, Dr. Sina and Farmer Joel expose why the "Gluten-Free" label is often a dangerous lie and why the modern gluten crisis is about much more than just a protein. We trace the history of when gluten issues actually exploded and the modern "accelerants" that turned a staple grain into a gut-destroying toxin, in addition to how to start reversing gluten sensitivity. Community Question: “If you’ve struggled with gluten and overcame it, please share your story of success and how you did it.”

| Episode #234: Glyphosate Immunity: Lisa Stokke Breaks Her Silence on What’s Really Happening in DC | 26 Feb 2026 | 02:10:05 | |
The health freedom world was rocked this week by President Trump’s February 18 Executive Order, which officially designated glyphosate as a "National Defense Asset." It’s a stunning move that has divided the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. In this exclusive interview, Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina sit down with Lisa Stokke, a legend in the food freedom movement, to make sense of this Executive Order. In her first public appearance following a long hiatus from the public eye, Lisa shares her “insider” knowledge from the “Truth” about what really happens behind the scenes will lobbyists, the reality of political influencers and blackmail, and why she believes this moment of federal overreach is exactly what will trigger the most significant shift in food history—a shift away from Washington and back into the hands of the people. Community Question: “Has this Executive Order and RFK Jr’s response changed your view of the MAHA movement?” About Lisa Stokke: Lisa Stokke is a legendary figure in the food freedom movement. She co-founded Food Democracy Now! in Iowa, where she spearheaded historic initiatives on GMO labeling, pesticide testing, and antitrust lawsuits against Monsanto. After a successful career in policy, she pivoted to science as the co-founder of the Bionutrient Institute, focusing on nutrient density in food crops. Most recently, she served as a key advisor for the RFK Jr. Presidential Transition Team, helping vet candidates for the top levels of the USDA. References:

| BONUS: Is Geoengineering Actually Real? feat. Peter Kirby (Chemtrails, Cloud Seeding, and MORE) | 21 Feb 2026 | 01:04:29 | |
For many, geoengineering has moved out of the shadows and into the halls of government. With states like Tennessee, Louisiana, and Florida passing historic legislation to ban atmospheric chemical releases, our skies are finally being recognized as an unregulated laboratory. But this isn't a new phenomenon. Weather modification has been a documented reality for nearly 70 years. From Public Law 85-510 in 1958 to the Senate Weather Modification Hearings of 1974 and President Lyndon B. Johnson's warning that "he who controls the weather, will control the world," the legislative trail is clear. In this episode, we peel back the labels with researcher Peter Kirby. We’re moving past the stigma to examine the declassified history, the patents, and the hard data behind the "New Manhattan Project." Join us as we discuss the biological price tag of these programs and practical solutions for detoxing your body from atmospheric particulates.

They explore Oregon’s IP28, a radical ballot measure that could effectively end animal agriculture, and contrast it with the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines that have moved toward prioritizing whole animal proteins. The duo also breaks down Beyond Meat’s move into carbonated drinks following massive losses, the emergence of AI-driven "personalized" grocery pricing, and the marketing behind new “GLP-1 friendly” food labels. It’s a deep dive into the forces currently reshaping food sovereignty and the future of the American plate. We want to hear from you! This week’s community question is: “What should the livestock farmers in Oregon do?”

| Episode #232: Flaw in Maine’s "Right to Food"Law & Sued for Criticizing Sugar? | 12 Feb 2026 | 01:05:20 | |
Farmer Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina McCullough break down the Florida "Gag Law" (HB 433/SB 290), that could leave citizens and activists vulnerable to lawsuits for criticizing anything from sugar production to pesticide use. Meanwhile Florida’s Health Department reported 60% of candy tested contained dangerous arsenic levels. Joel also weighs in on California’s new alliance with the World Health Organization, a first-of-its-kind state-level partnership that raises critical questions about regional vs. global governance. Finally, they look to Maine’s "Right to Food" constitutional amendment. While a victory for food sovereignty, Joel explains its hidden shortcomings and what other states must do to ensure these rights actually have teeth. We want to hear from you! This week’s community question: “When you go to the grocery store, do you bypass the candy aisle? If not, what’s your favorite candy?” Resources and References:

| Episode #231: Stop in the Name of God: What We’re Missing About Sabbath | 05 Feb 2026 | 01:05:18 | |
We’re told we can rest when everything is done—so basically never. In this conversation, we explore the connection between shame and busyness, why stopping can feel unsafe, and how the Sabbath offers a weekly practice of trust, limits, and renewal. Along the way, we discuss themes from Charlie Kirk’s Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life—and why “permission to stop” is often the hardest thing to receive. Community Question: “Do you currently observe the Sabbath or take a rest day? If so, what do you do on that day?"

| Episode #230: RFK Jr's Dietary Guideline Identity Crisis - How It Affects You | 29 Jan 2026 | 01:14:41 | |
In this episode, Joel and Sina unpack the quiet revolution happening inside the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, where “eat real food” has officially replaced decades of low-fat, highly processed advice. But behind the "Eat Real Food" marketing lies a "Nutritional Civil War" between new health goals and old legal restrictions. They explore the clash between marketing and math and why the saturated fat cap may be the biggest contradiction of all. It’s a lively, eye-opening look at how America’s nutrition policy is being rewritten in real time and why the rules don’t always add up. Community Question: “Are you still going to get your cholesterol level checked?”

It’s a lively blend of policy, practicality, and perspective, served with just enough humor to keep the news from feeling too heavy. Community Question: “Does a person have the right to hurt themselves?”

| Episode #228: 25-Point Plan to Prevent & Reverse Parkinson’s and Other Neurological Diseases | 15 Jan 2026 | 00:58:27 | |
What if the earliest signs of neurological disease didn’t look neurological at all? In this episode, Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin explore why conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, cognitive decline, and other neurological disorders are rising simultaneously. Using The Parkinson’s Plan as a starting point, they unpack a growing body of evidence suggesting these diseases are not random, not inevitable, and not genetic. From early “breadcrumb” symptoms we often dismiss, to the surprising role of the nose, this conversation reframes neurological disease as a systems issue—one that opens the door to prevention, resilience, and personal agency. Disease is a process, not a lightning strike. So, the future of brain health is far more changeable than we’ve been led to believe. Community Question: “You’ve heard the list of 25. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1=terrible and 10=good), where are you overall?"

| Episode #227: Joel Salatin on the EU Protests (And Why Your Grocery Bill Keeps Rising) | 08 Jan 2026 | 01:06:51 | |
Protests across Europe are shaking up more than politics - they may be tugging on the same supply chains that set food prices in America. In this episode, Joel Salatin shares his blunt take on what’s really driving the unrest, why it matters for your grocery bill, and the overlooked reason the U.S. doesn’t have more farmers despite plenty of people who want to farm.

| Episode #226: Dr. Suzanne Humphries - The Untold History of Vaccines and Why It Matters Now | 01 Jan 2026 | 01:14:32 | |
Dr. Sina interviews physician and author Dr. Suzanne Humphries about her book Dissolving Illusions and the central question it raises: were vaccines the main reason we stopped dying in large numbers from smallpox, whooping cough, measles, and polio - or did other factors play a bigger role? They discuss the current measles outbreak and trace vaccine history back to the 1800s, including the smallpox story most of us never heard. From the 1916 Rockefeller lab leak of polio to how fear, mandates, and punishment have been used in America across different eras to shape vaccine compliance, nothing is off limits.

| Episode #225: Gene Editing at Home & Falsified Studies Shaped Our Food | 25 Dec 2025 | 01:00:49 | |
Dr. Sina McCullough and Joel Salatin dig into developments that are quietly - but profoundly - reshaping what we think we know about food, health, and science itself. They unpack a new reanalysis of NHANES data that overturns the long-standing claim that animal protein shortens life - showing how the same raw data was previously framed in a way that fueled a false global dietary narrative. They also examine what it means when gene-editing tools can now be ordered online and used at home, and why the retraction of a landmark glyphosate paper - after 25 years of influence - raises uncomfortable questions about how scientific “truths” are made and how much power scientists have in creating the national narrative. Community Question: “Should Sina buy a CRISPR kit for Hunter? Why or why not?”

| Episode #224: Swipe Right for Chicken? How Apps and Labels Are Hijacking the Local Food Revolution | 18 Dec 2025 | 00:57:33 | |
In this episode, Joel takes aim at one of the modern food movement’s biggest ironies: we’re drowning in “solutions” while starving for common sense. He questions whether tech platforms that promise to “connect you to farmers” are actually adding another middleman—and whether our obsession with certifications and labels has distracted us from what really matters. From apps that sell authenticity to the alphabet soup of organic, regenerative, and humane certifications, Joel invites us to zoom out and ask: have we complicated food so much that we’ve forgotten how to simply know our farmer? This conversation is a refreshing reminder that discernment—not a digital platform or a shiny label—is still the most reliable certification of all. This Week’s Community Question: “Have you ever been disappointed with a certification program?” Things Mentioned in this Episode: Other Links:

Spoiler alert: Cloned meat and milk have been in American’s food supply for nearly 2 decades. Next, Joel addresses the soaring price of beef. He explains President Trump’s call for an investigation into the “Big Four’ meatpackers and why he’s not so quick to blame consolidation or collusion for high beef prices. We want to hear from you! This Week’s Community question: “Have you decreased beef purchases in the last six months as beef prices have increased? If so, what are you substituting with?”

In today’s episode, Joel and Sina go treasure-hunting in the modern news cycle to prove that even in a sea of chaos, there are still rays of hope worth celebrating.

But this episode isn’t just about the news. It’s about how the news affects you. The way we interpret a headline can shift our physiology in seconds. tightening the chest, sparking adrenaline, or sending the nervous system into overdrive. So let’s learn together, talk it through, and release it. No festering. No fear spirals. Just honest conversation, a few laughs, and a reminder that hope is still hiding in some unexpected places… like fast-food fryers and breakfast menus.
